Summer School 2018 Information

Jackson R-2 is proud to offer a FREE summer school program for students entering kindergarten through fourth grades in the fall of 2018. The program is designed to provide educational enrichment activities that expand upon what was taught during the school year. The program will be starting Thursday, May 31- Thursday, June 21, a total of 16 days, for incoming kindergarten through fourth grade students. We will host summer school at both East and South Elementary.

Please see the list below for summer school attendance areas:

South Elementary: Any students that attend South Elementary, West Lane Elementary, Orchard Elementary, Millersville Elementary and Gordonville Elementary will attend South Elementary Summer School.

We encourage all students to attend for a rewarding experience. Each grade level will have its own special activities! This year our theme is “The Great Outdoors!”
